This course will begin with an introduction and overview of the Hydrogen Economy and the history and application of fuel cells. Questions such as what does moving to a hydrogen economy mean, will be examined. Issues associated with a Hydrogen Infrastructure will be compared to the advantages and disadvantages of existing energy infrastructure. Alternate or "renewable" energy systems will be described. Hydrogen production, storage and distribution in existing transport networks will be discussed in terms of facilities required, safety concerns and economic viability. Next, fuel cell basics, types of fuel cells and fuel cell systems will be reviewed.
